Spellings sure ture 1 Rule Explanation The chu

Spellings: sure / ture

1) Rule Explanation The ‘chu’ and ‘zju’ sounds at the end of a word are usually spelt ‘ture’ or ‘sure’. To see which spelling you need, say the ending in a POSH VOICE! advenchu: Is it adventure or advensure? treazju: Is it treature or treasure?

2) Examples Practise saying these words normally and then using a POSH VOICE! fuchu = future meazju = measure creachu = creature clozju = closure advenchu = adventure expozju = exposure What happens if you use a posh voice to say the words with the wrong ending? How do they sound?

3) Rule 19: Practice Use your POSH VOICE to decide whether these words should have ‘ture’ or ‘sure’ at the end.

These should not be spelt ‘ture’ as they are made up of a root word ending in ‘ch’ and the suffix ‘er’. The use of a ‘posh voice’ should help: ‘teature’ does not sound right.
